More from this Producer

Maison RiviereL’Excellence Clos des Menuts

It is in a quest for excellence and recognition that we wished to vinify, in 2007, a prestigious cuvée of the Clos des Menuts: Excellence Clos des Menuts. So we naturally appealed to Stéphane Derenoncourt to advise us and help us to carry out this new challenge. This Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a true delicacy with its perfect blend of Merlot and Cabernet. It is a fruity and balanced wine of guard, with subtle tannins.
